沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvWZwQRVmW
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFcdyefb7f
「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcv5p6iZ8X
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c0MYBVb06
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1cRSGy0b
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtb1D1Id4w
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL9wbLTCj4
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloWYKpajKi
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMXLSD3Xmw
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3WB66PTMh
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKsSdqXj4
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcxHe3CVT9
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDKQVizYUO
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigNaDlHSMa
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1uKvr8iyf
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7KULy70zC
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSxvp8fac
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWDVAjs7lb
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjld3U5On7
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafR9Bsa2ja
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3jRXEhV1X
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LrqbwlU5e
「嗯。」小娜點頭。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC2mbkNnDj
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPXE2A0bsv
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxG2lHXqFz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpHlLQx4F
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJWh2mr5p7
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinI7Mi4GXU
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmJUK8x3uK
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJRLtwaZm9
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0MTSp5N6
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBcLcomWz1
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV4RzHvbfv
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YD3GRiIp
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcbpYkuaD5
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrhBPmKxb1
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswTHYU0Bb3
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5E44FGjG8
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBSb9HkQ4C
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDib12TVEq2
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJGXwW6rgh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91CN5Mid0E
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUughqheUXr
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CPIHLxYfb
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkKwFmZEN
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeWzFYZiEb
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4j5mLqZ8U
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJDqnSgQ36
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGdIEgKpYq
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3nOEOEn6l
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0rmbZfS6
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDTOqZhW51
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI0l8MZZMy
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERsCEDtyB1
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCs5q9YV3F
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tia3U2PGs
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2KvUg6YXA
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MAslid8bP
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5oApl4sVx
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp24JQU0vDb
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEsj5mBxZt
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52hMcE8dC4
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZbvko5Wu
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77IrubeYa6
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHxSjlUDGR
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JwQ4xxZor
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdHjPdw8NW
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKEnc1w5m
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHsUfGHHge
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uhsSrWbth
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TCm1Xepa7
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIiKVA9WWg
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVbRSG5eF
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDk08gnDE1
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJ2tkNFyG
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0rhymW76
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWIESwDaJE
「刀......有兩把。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvslHEmPM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RUukx0dRA
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCp8FfSQPF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPl3XjB6z
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vOf3UI5sO
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN1KUV0jHm
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfYhrPRw2C
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZdG0otRvk
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2tN4WiMgx
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWYtZn5XU4
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI4CU44Nww
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu08QrRNqTJ
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00IRlK7S0g
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYcqw473N
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98PGz6Sc5M
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFvjDMJEW
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTbX8SMZc9
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5mbTqBdPL
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLQj63Svk8
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEVcaOWm4
「啊！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya9B0gYDNZ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBLum19xPp
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASDyLnref3
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqlwHguJMM
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tcrwkKBmt
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUaQyqcmjR
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfZcBUKtQn
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWXVdgxRCY
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRF3vetHdz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mgq7Rrruk
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk24IME1tD
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq9bEovmPP
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgnXvvzHBo
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE8byIPYiz
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSRpjBdEZ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9vkLYRkUV
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vV7boqERf
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9FmL8qPY5
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA4QVCM3Kx
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXG1f3g0t
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqcDhFqz6W
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBcj3IXm3w
很痛苦。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDecJKnDrIk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgAXsjw5lO
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lwrf8Tix
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q7Vy3lz89
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8zHbVCuPl
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsN97Rjxlq
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
